The last time I tried to create a "Default User" profile that was set as a=
=20
mandatory profile the Windows client could not handle this on login. You ca=
n=20
of course use a normal "Default User" profile that has folder redirection,=
=20
set the client to delete cached profiles on logout, and NOT have a profile=
=20
share. This means that every user will get a fresh profile on login every=20
time.
